I HIGHLY recommend checking out their records “On The Eve of a Goodbye” and “The Oubliette”. Two of the most incredibly emotional prog metal journeys I have ever taken.

It’s been one hell of a year in metal. One hell of a last few weeks really. Sabbath/Ozzy farewell show, Ozzy’s passing, and now Megadeth announcing their final album and tour. Catch them live while you can!

RIP

#metalsky
#ozzy

RIP to the man, the myth, the legend that was Ozzy Osbourne. Without you and your brothers in Black Sabbath, there is no heavy metal. For that reason alone, it makes you a legend.

Coincidentally, we are preparing to discuss my personal favorite Sabbath record, “Paranoid”, on our next episode. I will definitely have more to say on the show.

My undying gratitude, love, and appreciation goes out to you Ozzy. Thank you. My sincerest condolences go out to your family, friends, and fans.
